  — Marcus Luttrell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lone Survivor

• “American Sniper is the inside story of what it’s like to be in war. It’s a classic. A brave warrior and patriot, Chris Kyle writes frankly about the missions, personal challenges, and hard choices that are part of the daily life of an elite SEAL sniper.”

  — Richard Marcinko, USN (ret.), New York Times bestselling author of Rogue Warrior

• “Kyle recounts his bloody tales of war with deadly accuracy. Skillfully narrated by John Pruden, these fascinating war stories offer insight in the perils of modern combat. Pruden’s tone is that of a Navy SEAL: calm, cool, and collected. And he never falters in recounting the author’s impressive skills on the battlefield…While Kyle’s story is gripping in its own right, Pruden’s outstanding narration brings the story to life with brutal realism. Pruden is a man possessed in this account; he embodies Kyle from start to finish. The result is truly chilling listening.”

  — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

• “Reads like a first-person thriller…The book never glorifies what Kyle did for a living, but it’s not an apologia, either. Kyle doesn’t spend a lot of time justifying his chosen profession, preferring instead to give readers a sense of what it is like to be a sniper, which lets us speculate as to whether we would have what it takes, if the the situation called for it. A first-rate military memoir.”
